then on your PyS60 screen on the phone choose “Options ->Bluetooth Console” to connect to the computer.

Once this is done, open a new shell and type “screen /dev/rfcomm0″

whala! you can now type in commands on your PC and those are redirected to the phone. Commands that do not require UI access will be displayed on your computer screen, but UI based commands such as appuifw.note(u”hello world”,”info”) will be displayed on your phone as would happen if the script was running on your phone (which is what is happening actually).

In your phone, make sure bluetooth is on, then go to the Python application and then select the Bluetooth Console. Select from the list of available devices your computer’s bluetooth adapter (you might need to select search even if you think you have already defined the pairing). If the operation is successful, you should see something similar to the following on your computer’s shell:

I have added one more approach that might work for you. I have also added the sources of this information ( I am sorry, I should have done this before) in case you still have problems and want to look around for further solutions. cheers!

The “–channel” is actually with two dashes but for some reason the wordpress editor turns it to one as you can see from your own comment which has the same end result.
For the 2nd point I really don’t know what might be the problem. One of those two approaches has always worked for me. I suggest you use the links I provided to find your way around the problem in other resources.
